Jean-Éric Vergne (No. 25 Techeetah) was second and Sam Bird (No. 2 Virgin Racing) finished third. di Grassi started 15th on the grid, got caught up in an early incident which forced him to pit after only two laps during the first safety car stage to change the rear wing, dropping him to last place. The ABT Schaefffler Audi Sport team gambled on an early pit stop on the 18th of 45 laps during the second safety car stage, which forced di Grassi to save energy the rest of the race distance. di Grassi had an advantage of 1.966 seconds at the end of the race with only two percent energy remaining in his battery. Next up for Formula E is Monaco on May 13th.
